We’re digging the Tiny House concept of NOMAD, a 10’ x 10’ micro house with a 60’ loft space developed right here in Vancouver. It’s easy to assemble and flat packed so it can be shipped worldwide. They cost between $25,000 and $28,000, depending on how well you want it to be kitted out. You can also get “green” off-grid models (ie. solar-equipped), but those are custom-priced.

Recognizing the importance of these progressive dwellings and the philosophy adopted by their occupants, NOMAD has taken on...

Vancouver City Council has unanimously approved a proposal to build a 497-foot tower designed by world renowned Danish architectural firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) at the north end of the Granville Street Bridge

The speakers at last night’s public hearing, including many local residents, were generally in favour of the project. It likely influenced City Council’s rezoning decision, which came down to a resounding 11-0 “yes” vote giving local developer Westbank Corporation the final stamp of approval it needed to construct the 52-storey tower – the fifth tallest in the city.

This updated family home sits at the foot of Burke Mountain. With a fenced front yard complete with kids playground, beautiful bamboo floors, updated bathrooms, newer roof, a huge covered deck, a 2 bedroom suite [currently rented for $1,000/mo], and lane access. This home is in great condition and ready for you to move in. Close to David Connector; Tranquil Trails; Transit; Shopping; Recreation and Schools. Call today for your appointment to view!

Google Streetview images of the condominium complex at 15220 Guildford Drive, Surrey, in which is located a unit belonging to Rose Jordison that was the subject of a B.C. Supreme Court ruling posted Friday, Jan. 13, 2012, ordering Jordison to sell her unit and move out because of her behaviour and that of her son toward other tenants in the building and defiance of the strata council.
